YSCFC SERIES FLATBOTTOM GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES

1.7.2 Improper Burner Functioning

With problems in this category, the burner ignites but exhibits abnormal characteristics such as "popping", incomplete lighting of burner, fluctuating flame intensity, and flames "rolling" out of the fryer.

"Popping" indicates delayed ignition. In this condition, the main gas valve is opening but the burner is not immediately lighting. When ignition does take place, the excess gas "explodes" into flame, rather than smoothly igniting.

The primary causes of popping are:

•Incorrect or fluctuating gas pressure

•Clogged burner orifices

•Clogged burners

•Inadequate make-up air

•Heat damage to the controller or ignition module

•An out-of-adjustment ignitor or broken ignition wire

•A defective ignition module

If popping occurs only during peak operating hours, the problem may be incorrect or fluctuating gas pressure. Verify that the incoming gas pressure (pressure to the gas valve) is in accordance with the appropriate CE or Non-CE requirements listed in the Installation and Operation manual that came with the fryer, and that the pressure remains constant throughout all hours of usage. Refer to Adjusting Burner Manifold Pressure in Section 1.4 if burner manifold pressure is suspected of being incorrect.

On systems equipped with electronic ignition, verify that the ignitor is properly adjusted (electrode tip and ignitor positioned properly over middle burner).

Clogged burners and burner orifices are also likely causes of delayed ignition. Clogged burners are indicated by uneven flame or partial flame on the burner face. Clogged orifices are indicated by no flame.

Another cause of popping is an insufficient air supply or drafts. Check for "negative pressure" conditions in the kitchen area. If air is flowing into the kitchen area, more air is being exhausted than is being replenished and the burners may be starved for air.

If the fryer’s gas and air supplies are okay, the problem most likely is with one of the electrical components. Examine the ignition module for signs of melting/distortion and/or discoloration due to excessive heat build-up in the fryer. (This condition usually indicates improper flue performance.).
